"Soon after North Carolina seceded from the Union in May 1861, Jacob Nathaniel Raymer enlisted in the Confederate Army as a private and pledged to serve the duration. He faithfully wrote letters--often signed simply "Nat." Raymer witnessed and chronicled the great battles of the Civil War, including Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg and, finally, Lee's surrender at Appomattox"--Provided by publisher.

Nat Raymer would periodically write long letters to the newspapers in North Carolina about life in the regiment. Some of the letters were funny, some were sad, and all are interesting. They reveal some of the everyday life in the Army of Northern Virginia, especially in George B. Anderson's Brigade, then in Stephen D. Ramseur's Brigade, then William Cox's Brigade of the 2nd NCST, the 14th NCST and the 30th NCST.
Sometimes, he would list the wounded and dead from the battles, with accounts of how or where they were wounded. Other times he would tell tales of life in the camp, how they lived, and what they ate (or didn't eat). In any case, this is a good resource of the human interst stories of the Civil War, and a fine addition to the literature of this part of American History. ( )
